The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, out tomorrow, confirms the list of writers who will be making up the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures!

Phil Ford will be leading the run with 2 stories/4 episodes, while Gareth Roberts, Joseph Lidster, Rupert Laight and Brian Dooley will each be penning 1 story/2 episodes each.

Inside the magazine, it’s also strongly hinted that the Hand of Fear, which Sarah Jane originally fought off alongside the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, in 1976, will soon be back knocking on Sarah Jane’s door… Intriguing stuff!

Filming for the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures will begin imminently, and it’ll air on BBC One this Autumn!
